Hey guys,
It's been an okay week. I got your package mom! Thank you! Try to send the pictures soon. I have been waiting a whole summer to see them. Yeah, Sister Mitchell and I had lunch with Sister Whitesides and her two kids. They are all so big now. They brought me Café Rio... It was great.
This week we focused on finding. People can be really mean but we are continuing to push forward and find people who are ready to hear the message. We didn't have any new investigators this week but Katarine and Melvin are still progressing. They both came to church again. Gospel Principles was rough because every once in a while we have an atheist come and share his thoughts in the class. It's really frustrating. We will follow up with Katarine and Melvin this week and see what their thoughts are.
Okay I have big news. We are getting another set of missionaries in the Centreville 2nd ward. The assistants called us and told us that we need to split our ward boundaries for the new elders. That means that me and my new companion will be on bikes. It's been fun putting the area book together and getting things together for transfers on Thursday. I am getting anxious for what is going to happen this transfer. I will most likely stay here and train a new missionary. 42 new missionaries are coming in this upcoming transfer and that is a record for the area.
I love my tennis family. I wish I had that talent. You are all so great. 2nd place isn't too shabby. Tell Josh that I am so happy that he is going to be in band. Does he like that instrument? Jake is a priest now?? Time is flying. Pretty soon he will be out on his mission... WEIRD. The garage story made me laugh. Memories of my youth.
Okay I love you all and I hope you have a great week. I will hopefully send you an email on Friday telling you what area I am in. Mom, I also am going to need skirts that I can bike in so I will be going to Goodwill to find some cheap long skirts.
Have such a great week!
Love
Sister Smith
P.S Tell Jake and Josh to write me. I would love to hear from them :)
